I think the patch author might be confused. This should be the correct way to
pass recipients with commas to xdg-email:

  xdg-email --to "\"Per Olofsson, developer\" <pelle at dsv.su.se>"

You always need to quote recipient names with commas, I'm pretty sure that's in
the RFC. The outer quotes in this case are for the shell, only the inner quotes
are passed to xdg-email.
